About this villa rental
Listen to the soft rustle of palms and feel the caress of an island breeze as you sip morning coffee or drink sunset libations. The symphony of waves will lull you to sleep as you relax on the seaside veranda.
Bit O Paradise sits on St. Croix's famous north shore and is surrounded by stunning views of the Caribbean Sea near Cane Bay. Historic Christiansted, with its many shops and outside dining restaurants is just a 15 minute drive. Most days, you won't want to leave home - any why should you? Relax the day away by the Villa's lovely pool located sea side.
Your back yard view is the sea, and the turquoise Caribbean waters are amazing! Although the sea at the Villa is a bit rocky and mainly surrounded by iron shore/coral, there is a beautiful swimming, snorkeling and diving beach (Cane Bay Beach) just a half mile down the road. You can go into the water at the Villa, but its shallow for a while and the currents can get rough.
The Villa sleeps 10 people (up to a max of 8 adults, since two beds are bunk beds and top bunks are for children only).
Cane Bay Beach is only a half mile down the road and St. Croix's 'Wall' is only 200 yards off the shore - a world renowned SCUBA diving site!

Our family had a great week in St Croix and we very much enjoyed our stay at Bit O Paradise. It had everything thing that we could have possibly needed and the Property Manager, Diane was super nice. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Cons:
1. House is old. Could use a face-lift and a good deep cleaning (but the important parts are very clean)
2. Main bath is fine, but other 2 are uncomfortably warm
3. Conserving elec & water - deal-breaker? No. Drag? Yes
4. Limited lounge space in living area. Only 2 love seats (barely enough for 4). Not enough for the whole group. Lots of dining room chairs, but not a lot of comfy lounge seats.
Pros:
1. Location is PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL! Steps away from secluded beach (too rocky to swim, but so fun to explore)
2. LOVED being able to walk to swimmable beach (although NOT for elderly or young - too far and dangerous) and a couple of restaurants (Highly recommend The Landing. Do NOT recommend Off The Wall) Driving is also an option.
3. Beach towels, beach chairs, pool toys are supplied. Extremely helpful.
4. Kitchen is very well-stocked with oils, spices, etc as well as appliances (crock pot, blender, etc)
5. LOTS of comfortable seating outside. Plenty of room around the pool.
Also note: look up what sunscreen (reef-safe) is allowed on the island. If you can bring it with you, do. We had to buy it while there, and it was $17 for the lotion and $26 for spray.
Overall: I would definitely recommend Bit O Paradise. The name says it all. We felt like we were in paradise and would love to return!!

This house has beautiful views of the ocean. This is our second time staying there as we enjoyed it so much the first time we stayed at this location. Unfortunately, this time we noticed there are some repairs that need to take place and we had an incident the last morning we were there and could not get the host to reply to us. Thank goodness my husband was able to shut off what needed done to stop the issue at the time. I called multiple times and sent a text message and then also asked for confirmation that they received my text and I have yet to receive a response. I wanted to make sure they were aware of the issue and that it needed to be addressed immediately. We love visiting St Croix and will return but probably to a different location.

Wonderful Vacation!
This was a great property for our family vacation. Everything was nice but the lower level room was pretty musty smelling. We couldn’t let the kids stay down there. Also the furnishings could be updated a bit. The beds were comfy and we loved the fresh air flowing through the villa. We would definitely stay there again!!

Excellent location and wonderful space
We had to book this house last minute due to complications with our previous house and everyone in our family agreed this house was a hidden gem. The check-in process was easy and the property contact was very accommodating to any requests we had. She went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent stay. I would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be my first choice to look at if we come back to the island.

Relaxing vacay
Our family stayed at Bit O Paradise and enjoyed everything about this property. Great location, and Diane met us at the airport and even let us stop by the grocery store to grab some items before heading to the house. We loved our stay here, if you are looking to book a stay here, don't hesitate, you wont regret it.

Great Location!
Great Location near a great beach. The beach at the front of the property is not safe for swimming. The pool is a great place to hang out but it is very cold. The property is lovely but could use some updating and a good deep cleaning, new pillows and better linens.

Scuba Vacation? This is the place for you!
Our group of 6 adults came for SCUBA and R&R and this was the perfect place to be located on the island. The house is amazing with the views and amenities. Half mile away is the dive shop and Cane Beach. Also halfway from the pier and the boardwalk. We definitely recommend this place. Christine (owner) and Diane( property manager) we're quick to respond with all our questions and gave great recommendations for food. Being on the ocean was an added bonus. Hearing that sound was relaxing. You won't be disappointed.

Perfect location
We selected this property back in December for family group (ourselves, adult children/spouses, and 3 grandchildren). Then a pandemic happened. The owner was always prompt responding to messages, and she worked with us to ultimately reschedule to a later date.
The property representative was at the airport when our flight arrived, and she led us to the house, showed us around, answered questions, and directed us to the grocery store.
The house was perfect for our group. We were walking distance to beautiful Cane Bay Beach and a couple of casual restaurants (but we mostly drove because of kids and no sidewalks). The beach at the house was more rocky, and the surf more choppy, but still made a good snorkeling and beach combing spot. Despite the August heat, the breeze at the house made sitting outside very pleasant. The pool was great for keeping the kids entertained.
There are several lounging areas outside around the property so it was easy to find a bit of quiet.
House was very well equipped and clean. Beds were very comfortable. AC units in the bedrooms kept the temp good for sleeping. We mostly ate in, and found everything we needed in the kitchen.
This was our first time in St. Croix, and we liked the central location of the property. It’s was an easy drive into Christiansted to catch the boat to Buck Island. Scuba and snorkeling equipment were nearby (we used Sweet Bottom at Cane Bay).
We were very impressed with the efforts throughout the island to contain the spread of Covid-19. It was a wonderful week, and we hope to come again when we can do more exploring.

Perfect
The location was excellent on the North side of the island, the privacy of the villa was outstanding. Our family of 8 loved the accommodations, the pictures are spot on to what you experience. Highly, highly recommend for a very relaxing vacation. Would come back for sure!

Gorgeous views, beautiful home
Bit O Paradise was everything we were hoping for and more! The house was beautiful, the views were spectacular, and we loved that there were multiple restaurants so close to the Villa. Cane Bay beach was a short walk/drive and the water was crystal clear! We loved our visit and will definitely stay here again!

How to lower your blood pressure
The pictures don't do this property justice. As soon as you walk through the front door you are struck with the ocean view & the sounds of breaking waves. You will find it very difficult to leave this property to see what the rest of St. Croix has to offer. The sound of the waves & the palm trees waving in the constant breeze will calm even the worst cases of high blood pressure. The house itself is laid out very nicely. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils & plenty of pots & pans. The outdoor grill is very nice & Diane is only a phone call away to answer any questions.

Beautiful Property, great location, amazingly helpful owners and property manager
We had a wonderful time staying at Bit O Paradise on St. Croix's north shore. We were looking for a waterfront home with an amazing view, lots of room, a private pool, and peace & quiet. This property checks all the boxes. I had a LOT of questions for the owner before booking, and both before and during the trip. She was nothing but kind & helpful, providing plenty of tips and great advice.
Upon landing, we were met at the airport by the property manager Diane. Since it was Thanksgiving day and rather late in the day, she stopped at the grocery store with us and even helped us shop. We then followed her to the house where we got a tour of the property and learned how everything worked. We could reach out to her any time we needed with any problems or questions.
The home is just beautiful. The pictures don't quite do it justice. We would wake up each morning to a beautiful sunrise and could walk along the shoreline without seeing another soul. We enjoyed being close to Cane Bay and spent a lot of time there as well. There are a few restaurants in the immediate area that we found very convenient. We ate at Eat At Cane Bay a couple of times, and at Off The Wall. We tried to get to Rowdy Joe's but it was closed that day. The property seemed to be about half way between Frederiksted and Christiansted, so it was quite convenient. We visited Christiansted for Jump Up, dinner, and a boat excursion, and visited Frederiksted for a scuba trip, horseback riding, and a visit to Rainbow Beach. The location of the property couldn't have been better.
The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the pool was refreshing, and the view was to die for. I would recommend this property to anyone. You won't regret your decision.

Bit O Paradise Indeed
We just got back from Bit O Paradise and it was an amazing week of vacation. The place was very nice and had everything we needed. We loved sitting by the pool and enjoying the amazing views. The house is very secluded and you feel like you have the whole island to yourself. We had 4 adults and 5 kids in our group(2 couples) and the property was setup perfectly to fit everyone comfortably. St. Croix was such a great island. We went to Buck Island(a must), Rainbow Beach in Fredriksted, Protestant Cay in Christiansted and of course Cane Bay. The snorkeling at Buck Island was amazing but the Cane Bay snorkeling(right down the road) was just as nice. We would swim out to The Wall almost everyday and we were guaranteed to see a variety of fish, stingrays and turtles. Every beach we went to offered crystal clear water and everyone we met was very friendly. Diane(property manager) was extremely helpful and was always available if we had any questions. We recommend to go to Diane's food truck when she has it parked at Cane Bay. The breakfast she serves is perfect after a night of enjoying too many Lime in a Coconuts. Everyone in our group agreed that this was one of the best vacations we ever had and we can't wait to go back to Bit O Paradise. Thanks Christina for sharing your amazing home with us! Wish I was there right now....

Perfect place to relax!!!
My family loved this house and location, the house was exactly as described. It was very clean and well stocked, beds were comfortable and the views were so much better than pictures can describe. My husband grew up in St. Croix and this was the first time he's been back since he left, he was hesitant about ever returning, but after our stay he can't get St. Croix out of his head, he's already wanting to go back and he said Chrissy's home was a reminder of the beauty and lifestyle he treasured so much. Definitely will rent this beautiful home again....thanks Chrissy!!!

Wow!! Truly was a week in Paradise!
Spacious rooms, cool breeze off the ocean, wonderful lounging spaces, the pool was fabulously refreshing, loved the barbecue grill, conveniently located close to beach and restaurants, and equidistant to the two main cities and shopping. Secure, gated Villa. Outside shower was a terrific plus. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful Cane Bay!
Home is all about the location as it is oceanfront, private with no other homes on one side and a short walk to great restaurants, bars and beach. The house is well stocked with a great layout. There is no central air although window units are in the bedrooms and the breeze makes the temp tolerable in the main areas. Pool is a nice amenity but a bit cool due to lack of sun on the north side of the home. Property manager, Diane was great and communication prior to arrival was very good. All in all a great stay and will definitely be back to St Croix in the future.

Bit O Paradise... the name says it all
One of the truly astonishing views of our vacation is when you first enter thru the front door of Bit O Paradise Villa. It perfectly set the stage for a wonderful vacation for our family of eight. The house manager Diane cheerfully greeted us at the airport and escorted us to the villa. While she gave us a tour of the villa she also enlightened us as to the many places to visit on the island. Also during our stay, we became very fond of her breakfast truck and her tasty “breakfast burritos” which is located just a short walk down the street at Cane Bay Beach.
Bit O Paradise villa is conveniently located within walking distance to beautiful Cane Bay Beach, which is great for snorkeling, sunbathing, scuba diving or just relaxing while soaking in the gorgeous scenery all around you. In addition, we walked to several of the local restaurants (Eat at Cane Bay, Off the Wall, Above the Cliff and Waves) where we enjoyed the delicious local food and amazing views.
Some of the memorable places we visited during our stay were: walking and swimming in the white sandy beaches of Sandy Point, touring the Cruzan Rum Factory, taking a snorkeling trip to Buck Island, paddling at night in the bay on a see-thru kayak, and visiting the breath-taking views of Point Udall, the westernmost point of the United States.
The Bit O Paradise villa was well stocked with linens, towels, shampoo/soap, kitchen items, along with a beautiful, refreshing swimming pool, plus a bottle of rum upon arrival! A couple of quick trips to the local grocery store and we were set for the week. We experienced the “Christmas Winds”, which allowed us to open all the doors and windows to catch the breezes throughout our stay. All of us spent many hours swimming and sunbathing at the private beach in front of the villa or just relaxing on a lounge chair by the pool. We fully enjoyed our stay in St Croix and thank you for sharing your Bit O Paradise with our family!

Bit O Paradise - what are you waiting for?
A truly wonderful experience! Beautiful home with plenty if room for all and centrally located to everything you'd want to do on island! Property owner is so easy to work with and able to offer valuable insight into what the island has to offer for newbies. Especially nice setup for a dive/snorkeling/sightseeing trip with plenty of night life options or you can stay in relaxing by the private pool and enjoy the sound of the ocean. Can't wait to book my next trip at Bit O Paradise!

Bit O Paradise sits at a great location in Cane Bay. Close to the two main towns on St. Croix to be convenient, but far enough away to not be bothered by other tourists. Cane Bay also offers great scuba and snorkeling right from the beach. There's also several local bars/restaurants within a short drive.
Upon arrival the house was clean and well stocked with amenities. The kitchen had every pot, pan, and utensil we needed (there was even a pizza stone). The grill outside was also clean and in good working order. Towels and all bed linens were clean and fresh smelling. The house in general is well appointed with plenty of seating for everyone. The pool area was super relaxing, with options for sitting in the sun or in the shade. The beach in front of the house is pretty rocky, but there are enough sandy spots that you can easily lay out some blankets.
The property manager was also great. Very knowledgeable and was able to make suggestion on things to do during our trip.

Great Location!
Stayed at Bit O Paradise for one week, focusing on diving and seeing the general sites. It was a great location, and phenomenal accommodations. There was more than enough room for all 6 of us. It was very clean, and we could tell the owners kept up on the maintenance and take great care of the house. Completely recommend this as a place to stay while on the Island.

Bit O Paradise offers it all
Absolutely breathtaking home with unforgettable views. Whether you are seeking adventures or just looking for a relaxing destination Bit O Paradise offers it all. If you're not interested in sitting by the pool with a view of the ocean as far as the eye can see, there are beaches, dive spots, and restaurants within minutes.
There truly are no words that can express how beautiful the home and surrounding area is. You will just have to plan your trip and see it for yourself.

We stayed at Bit O Paradise for one week and loved it. There was plenty of room for all 7 of us. The room with bunk beds was perfect for our children, and my brother in law enjoyed having his own space on the lower level. Clean and well kept. Well stocked with everything that you would need and more. The location is fantastic. We are divers, and the property is a 1 minute drive to Cane Bay Dive shop and beach. Diane, the property manager was very responsive and helpful. Hope to return someday soon.

I can’t say enough great things about Bit O Paradise, its owners and property manager! Bit O Paradise is everything it says it is and more. Every morning we opened up as many of the doors and windows as we could and let the fresh ocean breeze keep the house comfortable all day! We brought a party of seven all together, five teenagers and two adults. Everyone had their own bed and we didn’t feel crowded as if we were in hotel rooms. Bit O Paradise is stocked with everything you need with a well equipped kitchen (we might have worn out the blender a bit!), plenty of bath and beach towels, etc. All I can say about the pool is… We spent a lot of time in it and my cold beverage stood nicely at its edge. The beach is a little rough in areas but it is fun to relax on and a blast to explore! If you snorkel or scuba… this is the place for you (about 200 meters or so from the St. Croix Wall). If you are not a strong swimmer or are a novice to snorkeling, the waves can be a bit rough at times.
Cane Bay Beach and restaurants/bars like Off the Wall, Eat @ Cane Bay, Above the Cliff and Rowdy Joe’s are all within walking distance. And let me tell you… some of the best food on the island! If you are a walker or runner… my wife and I would walk every morning and there are miles of ocean front road to walk or run.
If this will be your first tropical or island vacation (and this is not the same as Florida) and what you experience at Bit O Paradise falls short of the expectations you get from reading the all reviews on the this property. Remember this is the tropics. Things will be corroded, you’ll see one or two bugs about and you’ll get a musty smell occasionally. But you will experience that even if you stay at the Buccaneer or Carambola.
Be sure to check out their YouTube site. It contains a video tour of the house and driving directions to the house from the airport via the Cruzan Rum distillery and Plaza Extra.
